maven-resources-plugin:2.5 - Cannot create resource output directory

Question

I occasionally receive this error when I build my project with

>mvn --version
Apache Maven 3.0.5 (r01de14724cdef164cd33c7c8c2fe155faf9602         


        

Answer 1

I had the exact same issue when trying to run the First Cup tutorial.

I fixed it by simply closing NetBeans and running it as administrator (via right click).
